Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on CBS (NYSE: CBS) price target of $36.00 (from $34.00).

Analyst, Michael Nathanson, said, "Last night, CBS reported second quarter EPS of $0.65, $0.05 better than our penny above-the-street estimate of $0.60. Looking past 2Q, we are incorporating three material changes to our model. Following through 2Q’s beat and these other model changes, we are raising our 2012E EPS by $0.07 to $2.57 and 2013E by $0.10 to $2.92. We now model 3Q CBS network advertising to be -2%, incorporating slower non-primetime dayparts, Olympics impact on scatter as well as a weaker syndication ad barter market. CBS continues to surprise with higher earnings revisions driving the share performance."

F12E EPS from $2.50 to $2.57; F13E EPS from $2.82 to $2.92
